Paladin, the operator of Malawi’s largest mining project (Kayelekera Uranium Mine), has faced difficulties in managing public relations since it signed a Mining Development Agreement with the Government of Malawi in 2006. Just over a week ago, the Malawi News ran a story titled “More dirt in Kayelekera deal” criticising the much debated and still not publically available mining deal, and this week it was reported that environmental monitoring has not complied with terms of the agreement.

It will be interesting to observe the reaction of users to Mkango Resources on Twitter as the company appears to have begun engaging with users in a way that Globe Metals & Mining has not: will the platform abet or hinder the company’s public relations?

Perhaps Paladin will soon become a follower.
